Compact and lightweight, the Canon EOS 1100D is a highly versatile DSLR that’s easy to carry with you, allowing you to capture any moment in stunning quality.

12.2 megapixel Canon 1100D SLR
Designed as a user-friendly, powerful, entry-level DSLR, the Canon EOS 1100D features an impressive specification to support the image quality and performance promised by the Canon and EOS brands. A 12.2 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor enables A3 size images to be recorded or cropped for exciting compositions, without compromising on image quality or print size, while DIGIC 4 image processing allows you to freeze the action with high-speed shooting at 3 frames per second.

Canon EOS 1100D low light photography
Low light subjects can be captured with minimal noise and without resorting to using a flash thanks to a sensitive ISO range of 100 - 6400, and the fast, accurate nine-point autofocus (AF) system ensures the subject is in focus no matter where they may stand in the frame. The Canon EOS 1100D also uses the same iFCL metering system developed for the semi-professional Canon EOS 7D, ensuring all subjects are well-exposed, even in the most challenging lighting conditions.

Canon EOS 1100D SLR lenses and accessories
The Canon EOS 1100D will be available with a new addition to Canon’s range of EF lenses. The EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II is a new kit lens that offers EOS 1100D users the flexibility to shoot everything from sweeping landscapes to portraits. A lightweight construction means it’s easy to carry, and Canon’s acclaimed optical Image Stabilization offers a 4-stop advantage to ensure sharp images at maximum zoom and when shooting in low light.
